can't find the posters so i'll just say Whitney Houston in the Bodyguard. very good performance. 50 cent is in a current movie called '12' and Justin Timberlake has starred in more than one movie. we all know about Janet Jackson. and Eminem was in 8 mile, but i skimmed this thread, and may have missed somebody already posting these people.

Tyrese was in the Fast and The Furious and it's sequel, i think. it's hard for me to know if Jamie Foxx is a musician or an actor..lol..i think moreso the actor. oh yeah...i yeah he's a musician, he was in Tpain songs and Kanye songs. Jack Wagner was in General Hospital too, i think.but surely on The Bold And The Beautiful soap operas. and, of course, the guy i call his prececessor, who sang 'Jesse's Girl'. was on General Hospital too, i think. i forgot that musician's name.

Technically Janet did acting before she released a record. She was on Good Times, Different Strokes, & A New Kind Of Family.

Frank Zappa’s 1971 movie 200 Motels will be re-released as a box set, and it’s available for pre-order via a PledgeMusic campaign now.Directed by Zappa and Tony Palmer, it features the Mothers of Invention, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon and Pamela Des Barres, among others. It was the first film to be show on two-inch analog videotape then transferred to celluloid; it’s been remastered from those original tapes to DVD, with a second DVD containing extras and exclusives.

“In 200 Motels, the film attempts to portray the craziness of life on the road as a rock musician,” a statement on the campaign page reads. “While on tour, the Mothers of Invention go crazy in the small fictional town of Centerville (‘a real nice place to raise your kids up’), wander around, and get beaten up in ‘Redneck Eats,’ a cowboy bar.

“In a cartoon interlude passed off as a ‘dental hygiene movie,’ bassist Jeff, tired of playing what he refers to as ‘Zappa’s comedy music,’ is persuaded by his bad conscience to quit the group, as did his real-life counterpart Jeff Simmons, who was fired for insubordination before the film began shooting. Simmons was replaced by Martin Lickert (who was Ringo’s chauffeur) for the film.”

Starr appears as Larry the Dwarf while Moon plays a Hot Nun and Des Barres is an interviewer. Other contributors include classical guitarist John Williams and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and award-winning choreographer Gillian Lynne, who later worked on Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s Cats. “She always said that 200 Motels was the inspiration for much that she later incorporated into Cats,” the statement notes.

Two box set configurations are available fore pre-order, along with a basic two-disc pack, with more than four months remaining on the campaign clock.
